I am feeling a little aggressive this morning. So this is back from when they were making interesting music. I apologize for the lame video, I didn't make it, but it's not like this song was a single.

New Season Approaches
That's right bitches. I'm stealing every g-d base in the effing park. I'll annoy them catchers more than crotch rot. and herpes. This is the year, ladies. Phantoms goin' all the way (to the second round of the playoffs)!

Uriangato, Mr. Roboto
Record 3-6
June 24, Game 9: at Uriangato
WIN: 12-6
McKinley, Chicago,IL--With our peeps trickling in just as the game started, the Phantoms caught the pisscats by surprise with a high scoring first inning. Not only did a hastily reconfigured batting order manage to keep the line moving, but a pants-just-on couple of batters actually managed to get on the field without slowing things down.
Impressive.
Highlights: A diving catch by LG "We need some fences" Sears. Also a pair of Home Runs by the same. An over the shoulder pop-up catch by Mason "Mendoza Line" Payne. A nasty diving snag by Shawn Cruz "Control." Some strong innings on the mound from Victor "Wheels" Gonzalez who, and this is probably a Bush league first, actually came in for relief of himself... well, that might not be an official Bush League first, but a first for this reporter. What else... I think I remember a pretty tight double play being pulled together thanks to a nice move by Courtney "Gettin' Some" Ayers.
Feel free to remind me of others.
So the rest of the game was pretty much the Phantoms keeping their lead--responding to any scores from the kitties. That's how it's done.
Notes: Vic did not bring beer, but Shawn went and got some. Thus, he takes home MVP honors. At least I heard he was going to...I had to go and take care of a seriously fucked up back.
Second Notes: All Star break is upon us. While the voters sent the entire Chupacabras team to Rockford or wherever the hell they're having the thing, our contracts forbid us from showing up the rest of the league during our vacation. Also, who the fuck wants to go to Rockford? Not this guy.

The Streak Returns
Record 2-5
June 3, Game 7: vs. Uriangato
WIN: 10-9 (11 innings)
Piotrowski, Chicago IL--So it seems the Phantoms like to keep things dramatic. After some solid pitching from Victor "Wheels" Gonzalez, and a towering homerun blast by LG "gasolina" Sears, your Bad News Phantoms (aka Chupacabras) had a 7-1 lead. But, after a seemingly endless tirade of whining on the part of Uriangato (spanish for "pissy cats") a comeback was staged.
So it was tied in the ninth. and the tenth.
I should pause to mention that my memory of events is subject to fictionalization, bad memory and a hangover. Gaping holes and blatant falsehoods will be corrected in due time. I should mention here my two doubles and 3 stolen bases. Make sure that's counted in the stats, Chief!
OK, so bottom of the 11th (or was it the 10th?? We'll get this right in a day of two) bases are loaded, two down, JP "We need some fences" Moran hits a game winning blast that should be counted as a grand slam except we ain't got no fences. Walk. Off.
Notes: Will nearly gets into a rumble with complaining Uriangato. LG can apparently sing whilst leading off third. Vic did notget further injured during this game, though we heard a fair amount about Ben-Gay and his testicles (feel free to come up with you own Victor nicknames in the comments section), the fields are being reconditioned with new dirt, grass cutting devices and something called a 'rake'...shortstops will appreciate this development.
Second Notes: Vic and Aaron brought beer. Vic and JP brought girlfriends. Mason and John (and, presumably, Jon "Need a New Nickname" Valadez) brought hangovers.
OK. that's all I got for now.
